"We Flush You a Merry Christmas" Kids WB ad

Remember when Kids' WB showed good cartoons? (Heck, remember when "The WB" existed)?

A lot of former fans cite commercials like this as the beginning of the end. Here's a crude, painful little bit from 10 years ago. Sylvester, Wakko (of "Animaniacs") and that cat thing from Pokemon ("Meowth", I believe) sing "We Flush You a Merry Christmas" around a toilet.

How they got Joe Alaskey to do this and keep a straight face, I will never know.

Well, Kids WB in the 90s always had various promos and bumpers like this one, that used sliced-and-diced recycled stock footage from its various shows slapped together in some awful manner (or in the case of the short-lived "Big Cartoonie Show", an entire opening title sequence consisting of such stock footage). That said, yeah, the characters sitting around flushing a toilet is decidedly a low point...
